The Angelic Conflict – Part 28 Outline
The Angelic Conflict – Part 28 –
Prehistoric perfect environment occurred and existed prior to Satan’s fall and the angelic revolution, Eze 28.
When man was created to duplicate the same conditions, perfect environment was provided on the earth, Gen 3.
In the last 1000 years of human history, there will be perfect environment, Rev 20.
Rational creatures, angelic and human, are no better off in perfect environment than in any other environment.
Satan’s closing argument is the Gog and Magog revolution at the end of the Millennium.
Satan is released from his imprisonment and permitted to arouse discontent against the perfect environment that has existed for 1000 years.
At least one third of the angels made a decision to follow Satan = “Let me choose my will over God’s will!”
We are confined to planet earth in order that all angelic creatures can watch how members of the human race respond or react to the plan of God.
Because God in His grace granted Satan’s appeal, we are here and we are a part of that trial.
ROM 9:20 On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this,” will it?
When Satan revolted against God in prehistoric times all angels were created beings from the hand of God; they were all perfect.
When Satan first entered the picture with mankind, he found two perfect people, Adam and the woman were created perfect.
Satan is released from his prison, and he goes through the land and is visible. Criminals who retain their arrogance do not change by serving a prison sentence.
In the first advent of Satan, GEN 3:1-15, he came to perfect environment and destroyed it. In his second advent, the same thing is true, REV 20:7-8.
In both advents, Satan alleges to improve perfect environment. So he lies, he distorts, and he uses the system of flattery in order to appeal to the arrogance of individuals!
The implacability and dissatisfaction of the human race is phenomenal at this time, so Satan alleges to improve perfect environment.
Part of Satan’s cosmic philosophy includes the idea of improving man’s environment by eliminating the weak and unfit from society.
The end of history, like the beginning of history, will demonstrate man’s need for relationship with God through faith in Christ.
No matter where you put certain people and what you give them, they are never going to change!
Evil always closes down one’s options in life.
With revolution or conspiracy, a few shrewd or evil people have always deceived a whole lot of gullible or naive people.
Because of the perfect environment of the Millennial reign of Christ, Satan must use his greatest genius, his deception, his lies, to awaken dissatisfaction.
People are easily deceived unless their soul is loaded up with truth or doctrine.
Deception is so powerful because it offers so much obvious and outward proof.
MAR 4:24 “Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it shall be measured to you; and more shall be given you besides.”
LUK 8:18 “Therefore take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him shall more be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him.”
ISA 11:2 And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the respect of the Lord.
ISA 11:3 And He will delight in the respect of the Lord, And He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;
JOH 7:24 “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
His goal is to lead all believers astray from the real plan of God.
Any area that you do not have sound doctrine in, is an area open to deception!
COL 2:4 “I keep on communicating these things in order that no one may delude you with persuasive argument”
1CO 3:18 “Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become foolish that he may become wise.”
Even the woman in the garden, who was perfect and didn’t have an O.S.N., ended up deceived by the craftiness and subtlety of Satan.
2CO 11:3 But I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
1TI 2:14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being “quite” deceived, fell into transgression.
EPH 4:14 We are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;
2PE 3:17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard lest, being carried away by the deception of unprincipled men, you fall from your own steadfastness,
The greatest victims of deception are believers, a direct result of the genius plan of Satan to distract them from the PPOG.
